Colonial America - (You Choose: Historical Eras) by Allison Lassieur (Paperback)

About the Book

Europeans came to the American colonies in the 1600s and 1700s in search of a better life. They worked hard and built farms, homes, and towns. But they were still under Great Britain's rule. Many wanted to make their own laws, but that meant going to war against a rich and powerful country. Will you: - Travel to Virginia as an indentured servant? - Choose between careers as a sailor or a soldier in Massachusetts? - Decide which side you'll take as the country marches closer to revolution?
